Texas School Districts on Twitter

A colleague from another school district in north Texas and I were recently talking and he informed me that he had been keeping a running list of Texas school districts that have Twitter profiles.

He was kind enough to share his list for posting in our mutual hopes of advancing and highlighting the use of social media tools by school districts.
